d. None of the above. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------a. Move the support
bar to the nearest stirrup location and adjust the vertical height so that a smooth
tendon profile is maintained, add additional support bars at other stirrup
locations if needed so a maximum allowable support spacing is not exceeded.
7. When installing tendons in a narrow joist:
a. It is important to avoid excessive wobble in tendons that could lead to concrete
blowouts.
b. Tendon placement is not critical since there is only one tendon in each joist.
c. It is important to check for any reverse curvature in a tendon profile to avoid
problems.
d. Both A and C. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------a. It is important to avoid
excessive wobble in tendons that could lead to concrete blowouts.
